Like boxing writing, jazz writing is one of the rich subcultures of American nonfiction, and the best of it is collected here by Gottlieb, the legendary <i>New Yorker<\/i> editor. All the great names of jazz are here, writing, talking, remembering, arguing. Whether it is Jelly Roll Morton talking about being around at the birth of jazz and recalling the &#8220;outstanding hot&#8221; pianists of his time, Nat Hentoff writing about &#8220;the ferociously wheeling, diving, climbing&#8221; art of John Coltrane, Jean-Paul Sartre asserting that &#8220;Jazz is like bananas &#8211; it must be consumed on the spot&#8221;, or Dizzy Gillespie saying &#8220;You only have so many notes, and what makes a style is how you get from one note to the other&#8221;, this book skips from one good thing to another.
